Painting day yesterday went awesome. We accomplished much more than hubby thought we would, and much food was consumed. Our house is starting to look beautiful (or sexy, as my friend put it, hehe). I think I'll take a picture this afternoon. There is a big ugly dumpster in front but I don't care.
Hubby has been out there all day doing more painting, but I have not been idle. I took child to scope out the venue for her 4th birthday party. For the first time we will be inviting kids from her preschool class. I'm nervous. They all tend to be upper class as compared to our humble family... case in point, our next stop was to trade in some of little one's old clothes and toys at Other Mothers. I managed to pick up some fall and winter wear gently used and on the cheap.
Last but not least, I came home and replaced some fence boards. Hubby's awesome screwdriver has 3 sizes of Canadian heads. I can't say enough good things about that ratcheting screwdriver set. If you don't have one, get one. It made me feel like She-Ra! The hardest part was unscrewing the old boards when the neighbor's chain link fence was 6 inches away. To unscrew the bottom screw I had to use a mirror to see where the screw head was. I could have asked if I could work on it from their side of the fence, we have a nice neighborly relationship. But, my antisocial and independent tendencies were in full swing. Besides, now I get to say I found an ingenious solution to my problem.
Now, all the fence needs is paint!
So, here I am patting myself on the back for a few minutes before heading out to the new house again. Hubby asked me to bring dinner and our 100ft extension cord so he can vacuum from the only usable outlet. The quantity of bugs in our window sliders is shudder-worthy, not to mention the thick layer of drywall dust.
Maybe next post will contain a picture!
